Kenyan Man Charged with Raping 15-Year-Old Girl in Tacoma, Washington

A Kenyan man accused of sexually assaulting a teenage girl in Tacoma, Washington has been charged with rape.

Appearing before Pierce County Superior Court on Monday, 36-year-old Michael Muthee Munywe was charged with first-degree rape and first-degree kidnapping with sexual motivation.

Munywe has denied the charges and has been granted $1 million bail by Court Commissioner Meagan Foley.

The News Tribune reports that Munywe allegedly approached the girl after he saw her get off a bus near South 11th Street and South Yakima Avenue in Tacoma.

He asked for her phone number and her age before following her and kissed her on the cheek as she walked home. When she resisted, the charging documents say Munywe grabbed her and took her to an alley where he sexually assaulted her.

She told Munywe she had seen someone near the alley and called 911, pretending she was phoning her mother.

Police arrived immediately and arrested the suspect, who appeared drunk according to the charge sheet.

Wow.This is disgusting.Iam sure this is not the first time he has gotten drunk.Now Iwonder if when drunk he has in the past committed this kind,or other crimes.
The law will certainly reward him with a few years in jail then deport him,that is if he is not naturalized citizen.Either way,he has given immigrant haters another rank of fuel...Terrible news for loved ones in kenya who have high Hope's for him.Iam sure he supposedly came here to get a better life and help them.
Yeap,another black eye on alcohol.Who knows he probably could still have rapes down the road without alcohol...My two coins.

@Guest 1.Empowering women will help,that is in Kenya.Certainly people have paid their way out of criminal situations, but if maendeleo ya wanawake,and the concerned citizens put pressure on the judicial system, rapists will languish in jail,or risk their gonads chopped off by angry relatives.
The good thing about detaching transformers is that the replacement parts dont work well,practically ensuring that one rapist is off the street.

If you've ever been to the great state of Washington or privy to any info or whatever through media or wherever you get your news, you probably know that the state legalized recreational marijuana. You can't even ride the bus or train without locals warning you about the dangers lurking. I'm not blaming it all on weed but it's very obvious that a full-blooded Kenyan, who knows what it takes to get to the United States and literally pour his sweat and blood to make it in this country, knowing the struggles back home and even worse knowing the evil and repercussions of laying a finger on a woman, in this case a high school students, my friends this Monster Pervert was on something stronger than alcohol. Wanaume wakenya jamani, this has become rampant, what seems to be the issue here? Something needs to be done, before all Kenyan men are labeled rapists. It's now beyond being just one man's problem.

Before anyone comment negative about this the accused Man, it's important you watch the video in this link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSbsuitLLs0
Remember, when you're a man of color in this Country,anything immoral can always be hurled against you. This video clip precisely valid that. Always have a phone and record the event to back-up your story.

I will not cast any stone yet because women in this country ( especially white) can crucify an innocent black man at will /scream wolf. And in the current #metoo, movement, men need to be very careful and like Tafsiri said, men of color in United States are in danger from police and white women... so I read this with a grain of salt.

@ Formerly guest2, what you have said is correct. There are countless stories of white women framing black males for various crimes,especially rape.Studies show that black men serving time for sexual assault are 3 1/2 times more likely to be innocent.Apparently one of the main reasons is because of" own race bias" aconcept where white people in this case rape have had time differentiating one black from another.
Having said this, there must have been reasonable evidence of rape for the police to arrest this Kenyan.
Even if there was consent,he would still be charge with statutory rape. As you said, lets wait and see.But apparently something"bad" happened.Could also be a case of mistaken identity. my 2 cents

Plus we can't keep crying faul blaming the system of racism when these issues are becoming rampant. It is high time Kemyan men, African men start paying close attention to themselves, you'll definitely find problems to fix there. While a majority have left their wives or girlfriends back home but know it's near impossible to contain their "MaBolingos", they refuse to date women abroad because they fear commitment, then obviously they will become dangerous to the society. Wewe mwenyewe unajijua. Kama huwezi vumilia bila hizo vitu, kuja na bibi ama, pata mwanamke mtakaa na yeye vizuri. Mpende na umuheshimu na umufurahishe often, because you know you need her and that she plays a very important role that helps you not to turn into a Nyang'au and prey on women and young girls. Hiyo ni tabia mbovu sana! There are no short-cuts here. And by the way, the smartest men, doing very well abroad, devoid of controversies are those who put their heads in the right places and settle early. Wewe kuja hapa, uone tusichana na wanawake summer na tubikini, things you were not used to in Kenya and because you don't have someone to go to to tuliza you at the end of the day, then you think you can guza, guza and kamata ovyo ovyo just because the lady or girl was friendly, UTASHANGAA! Jela itakufunza! Utapatana na "MaBolingo" futi kumi na nane inakungoja jela among other harrowing repercussions that come with committing such crimes. Heri msettle bana. Penda huyo wako, focus kwa huyo wako, uta avoid story mob!

Never judge a book by itx cover,u were never there only the two of them were,so only them know what happened and God may he "God"interving n be the judge,oo"an to u who rashe to gossip n u dont know what happened,peace be with u michael n may the mosthigh God grants u freedom.
